Nah, I don't think that's it... I tried DivX just to be sure.  Using 
dvd::rip, transcode craps out just trying to generate preview images 
from the ripped VOBs.  There's definitely a transcode issue going on 
here...

I'm compiling transcode from source right now, as Axel suggested it 
might be a packaging issue.

I'll post if I get any results.
